At Noora Health, our mission is to train patients and their families with

high-impact health skills to improve outcomes and save lives

We turn hospital hallways and waiting rooms into classrooms and enable

family members to provide care in the hospital and at home.

Meet Sureka

We met Sureka and her aunts, Ningama and Nangama, during a recent visit

to the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Bangalore. Originally from a district in north-eastern Karnataka, the trio

traveled all the way to Bangalore when the local District Hospital referred

Sureka for more specialized cardiac care.

Sureka and her aunts shared that, before the training, they were not aware

that there are serious warning signs to look out for after the surgery. They

thought post-surgery everything would be better and there would be nothing

else to look out for or for them to do. When we asked Sureka how she felt

about her upcoming surgery, she told us confidently.

Meet Aditi

Aditi takes care of her husband at home after surgery. She is not literate and was apprehensive about the training program at first. She completed the training, and when we visited them in their rural village in northeast India several months later, she had nearly every word from the training still memorized and had practiced the skills perfectly to her husband’s benefit.

Meet Krishna

“What you have taught me will help me take care of not only my father, but my whole family. I will teach this to my whole village. Teach me everything you can.”

Krishna accompanied his father to the hospital for his open heart surgery.

They live on a farm a day's journey from the hospital. In this photo, he is

practicing how to take a pulse – a skill he learned in the training.
